247 used live from moscow this is our International Pleasure to have your company my names union and neal a top story. The u. S. Justice department has charged 2 former twitter employees with spying for arabia prosecutors claim the pair american. Citizen used their positions to collect Sensitive Information about users critical. I discussed the case with. Well its 3 people being charged here 2 or former employees at twitter one being a u. S. Citizen and the other a saudi citizen and their 3rd accomplice also a saudi citizen now the duo are being accused of using their positions at twitter to access the personal information of thousands of twitter users in the interests of the saudi government and against to be used against critics of the monarchy now on wednesday the Justice Department filed a criminal complaint against all 3 involved the defendant did knowingly act in the United States as an agent of a foreign governments acted within the United States on the direction and control of the kingdom of saudi arabia and foreign officials working on behalf of the kingdom of saudi arabia without prior notification as required by law they had access to proprietary and confidential twitter information including information about twitter users including the user provided email addresses birthdates phone numbers and internet protocol addresses now the complaint also said that these 2 former employees didnt have jobs that required them to have access to peoples private information now as for their payout they were given a designer watch that was priced at 20000. 00 and another at least 300000. 00 transferred into secret Bank Accounts that they had twitter security its users privet see clearly dealt a blow here but to what extent well just recently the american involved he was arrested in seattle for tampering with 3 twitter accounts but the real damage was done back in 2015 where when over 6000 twitter users had their information stolen by the saudi coconspirator who now is all the way back in saudi hes believed to be back in saudi arabia safe and sound i mean this is twitter were talking about its its a major social media platform thats in countries all over the world and its a serious concern when just to people who werent even supposed to have the rights to peoples private in from a. Can get so much of that when twitter says this is supposed to be confined to a small team of trained professionals we recognize the actors will go in try undermine our service our company limits access to sensitive account information to a limited group of trains and that employee. Now twitter has agreed to cooperate with the investigation and we dont know how long saudi arabia may or may not have been conducting asked in the United States but whats significant about this case is that its the 1st time prosecutors have ever accused saudi arabia of running agents within the United States and another interesting thing about this is that back when these moves were made against the monarchys critics the current king of saudi arabia was just coming to power after his father died so thats an interesting thing to know so far the Saudi Embassy has been silent on the issue but it certainly will be interesting to hear what they have to say if they decide to make a statement. U. S. Democrats feel to push through a bill to keep the identity of whistleblowers secret republican senator ron paul d block the proposal accusing the democrats of spreading selective outrage the amendment was designed to bolster the senates position which is that whistleblowers should be protected from retaliate theyre called tribute knowledged it comes as the president s soul tweeted the alleged name of the whistleblower who triggered the impeachment inquiry. Reports on the fate of those who recently dirt to speak of it in america. For the democrats impeachment must now seem tantalizingly close all they need is the final piece of damning evidence to seal the deal and to Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer he has come out arguing for the protection of whistleblowers only rather of one Intelligence Officer whose insider info could make or break the impeachment dream calls to make public the whistleblowers identity are despicable whistleblowers should be protected period period thats quite the radical departure from his previous comments on those exposing government abuses and each day that snowden is allowed to room 3 is another twist to the merits snowden is a one of the few picked up by the media he chose the path of raising his voice and going. Unlike the hundreds of others who chose the path of least resistance you see they quietly launched official complaints hoping for the system to reform but they were out of luck because as a damning report from an intelligence watchdog shows the cia and n. S. A. When 189 out of 190 cases of whistleblower complaints by had to send you the link but the report was shut down i wonder if mr schumer praised or even remembers all those whistleblowers who ruled against what the name for example rich barlow bring about now living in a trailer in remote montana with his hunting dogs back in the late eightys bhalo worked for the cia now he found himself in a patriotic dye level when he uncovered what he said amounted to the u. S. Helping pakistan become a Nuclear Power including by selling Band Technology though he followed protocol he became the victim of a smear come. Disgraced and discredited barely able to scrape together a living i was disgustingly patriotic and i thought the government is allowing pakistan to develop and spread Nuclear Weapons and i got destroyed for trying to stop it what about former u. S. Marine affronts kayo he thought hed found a way of reducing the number of u. S. Troops dying in iraq as a result of improvised explosive devices all that was needed was a simple swap of patrol vehicles and given that were responsible for over 60 percent of all american losses in the country between 20032008 surely the pentagon would have been interested the response was more of. An automated response hes not obeying our instructions hes hes gone off the reservation as we often say. And weve got to stop him from doing that and just as it took gail 7 years to restore his reputation it took just a few months to discredit Peter Van Buren raising 24 years of loyal Diplomatic Service from beer and found himself on the wrong side of the table when he shouted light on state department mismanagement im waste in iraq what happens when youre thrown out of the government and blacklisted is that you lose your security clearance and its very difficult to find a grown up job in washington you have to step down a few levels to find a place where they dont care enough about your background to even look into why you washed up there the list of nameless faceless and unrecognized whistleblowers goes on and who to blame them for choosing to do to free fall their complaints because if you follow and manning all snowdens footsteps sure you might end up with your name on a plaque card and become the face of the fight for transparency but you might also find yourself. Bars and while youll sitting in prison think about how your brothers in arms only have a how to one and 190 chance of success whistleblowing protection should actually exist in all countries because it helps the country to have people tell the truth about corrupt officials United States pretends to have allies that protect whistleblowers but they often either dont work or they are deliberately sordid and certainly the government officials do not want anyone ever telling about things they do illegally the governments are basically wanting to control saying and control Public Opinion they put John Kiriakou in prison for telling that for instance is that the cia was torturing so they normally absolutely do not want to protect whistleblowers and they actually hate anyone who tells the truth about their illegal activities schumer about him alongside the washington elite needs to clarify his position on whistleblower as if you are a whistleblower you need to accept that harassment prison selfimposed exile weve just been consigned to the forgotten pages of history are all on the cards unless of course you happen to be that rab breed of whistleblower who finds himself in the right place at the right time with just the right expose. Ok to a story getting a lot of attention in the u. K. Patients who abuse stuff not a hospital in western england could end up not receiving medical treatment the North Bristol health trust has launched a red card to Racism Campaign which could see treatment refuse when its safe to do so. With the right to use the question we are seeing in the wrong but. We do need to use it to safeguard our stuff and work with the 60 mark or to be able to. Say. The campaign aims to cut out a wide range of abuse that hospital staff face aside from racism the National Health service will apply 0 tolerance policy to sexism sublanguage and also inappropriate behavior malicious allegations and intentional damage to property patients found to be abusive will encounter a sports like disciplinary system a warning or yellow card will be given on the 1st incident a 2nd time and patients receive a red card meaning treatment will be withdrawn once a patients condition is safe. Well here is some of the reaction we got to the plan from the National Secretary for the English Democrats PartyStephen Morris and women bennett of the stand up to racism pressure. My mother was a nurse for for most of her life for the n. H. S. And nothing was done about the abuse that she see faced and theres no reason why she should have put up with the abuse of after nursing people in both serious conditions i think a message to tolerance towards it would lead to a level of self control and h. S. Is there to treat people that should treat people. Without question the issues of sexism racism is a massive can of worms because obviously the hospitals could be in breach of the only quality because obviously a female then who wants to be treated by a female will not be allowed to because it will be deemed a sexist or if you have certain religious views you wont be allowed because it be deemed racist or sexist in some form if youre racist you will have a problem with this because you think its a normal discourse of normal wear behavior some framed in some ridiculous notion that youve got a freedom to insult and abuse people and to lock them up is serious actually most of these people will find that one state behavior is deemed unacceptable people realize they can no longer behave like that is not true that just clogging up the court system we say people should be prosecuted but you dont want to prosecute it because your actual words was it would only clog up the court system somebody who may have a feel philosophical or religious belief about being treated by women are being treated by a certain person then there are philosophical and religious beliefs have to be also respected and if the n. H. S. Are not going to respect their views then theyre going to fall foul of the equality at the n. H. S. Was built on immigrant a migrant labor from all over the world she was going many people yes in and my god oh here we go you have no idea its a bill that is it on the please dont use the old. It wasnt bill just on that this is ridiculous if somebody says i dont want to be treated by some of these black or asian theres no reason to respect that at all in a race isnt a philosophical view its just plain wrong only those people who believe it should be tolerated actually resist any kind of basic principles. Because all the way it. Prosecuted youre talking about people under normal circumstances these are not normal circumstances when people go into a in a. Way in pain they wanted us so these an absolute wide range of circumstances just to say can you come down to the can escalate the situation you want to use a little coward to tell people off i say lets go and prosecuted you didnt want to do that because you said it blocked the Court Systems are not against prosecute them i think its easier its easier for Health Professionals to give people a warning about their behavior and challenge it without necessarily bringing in the police and the courts i think that people are a racist need to be challenge to and that has to be done in such a way as they can simply understand that their behavior is unacceptable what you need to do is make sure you get them treated get them out reports and then get prosecuted if need be afterwards very simple if you start issuing yellow cards red cards in the hospitals thats going thats going to people more. Youre watching Arc International still to come france begins clearing migrant camps and cars could signal a new direction for president or manual micron why dont we go indepth on the. Whole of the 2 you should. Put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. So you want to present. Something about it. Thats a great. Beatrice thats what it looks like 3 of the boys cant believe that i would use the holes in the walls of the. Childs seemed wrong on one old roll just told. Me to get to shape out just become educated and engaged with equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Just approaching 17 minutes into the Program Welcome back fronts started taking a tougher stance on immigration to makeshift migrant camp sites in a part a suburb or a bike you waited on thursday morning with a 1000 people were removed from the area on buses like comes after the french Prime Minister said the country needs to take control of migration paris is also planning its 1st ever quarter for new comers as well as restricting their access to the health care system. He takes a closer look. Back or was catapulted into the french presidency on a ticket of not being from the right nor the left it was a poor enabling him to attract votes from across the political spectrum and it was a successful tactic half way through his mandate and it seems to still not show i about pinching an idea here all that from his political enemies in order to pepper the french governments policies for some theres a feeling that maybe dipping too much into the pool of ideas from the right with a crackdown on immigration high on his agenda takes this france cannot host everyone if it wants to host people well that seems a bit familiar. Right now were demanding him our time on migration because friendship is sinking and what about showing gain the area in the ruins of dublin resolution does not work anymore if we have to suspend. The French Public have been given more and more teases of policies to come policies that many feel wouldnt look out of place had been announced. Pens National Rally the countrys Prime Minister has outlined 20 measures for tighter controls these include making it more difficult for migrants to claim benefits and health care under these new rules let me say claim asylum would have to wait 3 months after lodging a claim before being able to access crosses universal health care france is also looking to introduce for the very 1st time economic quotas setting quotas for is a u. Turn from corn during his president ial campaign he had ruled it out so this is a clear attempt to appeal to right wing fotis for whom migration without limit is a huge issue that comes as recent figures showed france had received nearly 123000 asylum requests last year not only a record high but an increase of 22 percent compared to the year before mcallen himself has admitted his party just cant ignore the problem of immigration have no problem with migrants because they dont see them but the working classes do and they have been seduced by marine le pens and to immigration far right machinable rai may have thrown down the gauntlet in his attempts to pry voters away from the National Rally but lappin isnt backing down either shes warned may want to act tough his party is somewhat softer than its leader proposals to prevent abuse of the salem system are all shut down by his own Party Members although much because attempts to reach out to right wing voters comes ahead of municipal elections its clear this is about something bigger much be going fact 2 and a half years before the next president ial election in france polls are showing that kwames own. The competition will likely come in the form of le pen the indication is that the race could be a tight one and matt cronin of be disturbed is having to pull out all the punches even if that means possibly alienating many of those who put him in power in the 1st place. R. T. Israels top court has upheld a government decision to deport the regional head of Human Rights Watch or more secure as a u. S. Citizen cannot be expelled a law which prohibits public calls for a boycott of israel but the Organization Warns this will set a dangerous precedent we spoke with the man at the center of the story. Neither Human Rights Watch nor i as its representatives have called for boycotts we do not call for a consumer boycott we do not call for a boycott of israel proper what we do do as we do throughout the world is call on businesses to respect rights and in the context of the west bank years of research has led us to determine that any company that operates in illegal settlements and contributes to rights abuses so weve called on companies to uphold the rights and stop those activities but weve never called for a boycott of those Companies Much less israel proper the European Union has spo
